Any chance you can revert this patch:

I am having the same problem as reported. Basically, every few seconds my mouse freezes and the kslowd000 process uses all of my CPU. I don't know if this has been fixed upstream yet.

Just as a warning, I wouldn't use btrfs yet. It is absolutely not stable and still randomly segfaults. Basically the devs have only started on working on all the edge cases and problems.

I myself was using btrfs w/compression in a Virtual Machine and the FS panics after a hard reset.

fsck.btrfs ...

Regarding the Phoronix BFS vs mainline benchmarks, lots of discussion is happening on the linux kernel mailing lists.

The gist of it is that CFS can perform better than BFS, but only with changes to the many scheduler sys controls in /proc/sys/kernel/.

If you want to go through the whole thread ...

I did get the newest libdrm, but not mesa. I'll try compiling that.

I just tried using a 2.6.28 zen-source kernel, and it does indeed have some GEM support built into it. I built the kernel modules for drm and i830+i915. And compiled using git intel drivers.

DRI doesn't work. GEM fails when trying to allocate memory. At least in this zen-source. And the 2.5.1 ...

It appears that intel is currently integrating changes to the mainline kernel to use the new GEM memory manager (developed by intel). It replaces TMM.

The 2.5.x drivers are in a state of flux until everything gets in mainline. 2.6.29 should have it. 2.6.28 already has most of GEM in it.

You can ...

I usually try and keep my wpa_supplicant.conf simple:

network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="passphrase"
}

AFAIK, it should auto-detect all the relevant settings.

And I start wpa supplicant as so:
#wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -ieth0 &

But that is only if I'm not ...

reiser4 has been the fastest piece of crap since it first came out, its not any better now than it was 6 years ago, all you reiser4 users must have been dropped on your head too many times as children, reiser4 will never be in a vanilla kernel, i have no idea why anyone would put up with ...

lol, just remembered about equery:

Searching google leads me to believe that su is part of coreutils. However, after emerging coreutils 6.9-r1 and 6.10-r2 it didn't install su to /bin.

I see in the source while it compiles that it uses su.c
What package is su part of?

Thanks.

Last time I checked Hans was fighting with Linus over coding styles... but since Hans isn't maintaining this code anymore?

Hans Reiser was convicted for murder recently, so I doubt he'll be working on the code any time soon.However, the rest of Namesys is still working on it.Mailing list here ...

Ermm, zen has stable patches from ext4-patch-queue. I also think we have delalloc/mballoc support.

dodo

the mount option delalloc does not exist, so i guess this kernel doesn't have the ext4 git patches.

i'm back to 2.6.25 zen because i need vmware.

this page mentions it, but in another ...

Does zen have the latest git of ext4? I recently switched back to ext4 from reiser4, and it has improved a lot in terms of stability.

But its not as fast anymore because it lost the delayed allocation feature during the merge to mainline.

The latest patches seem to have initial support for ...

what about linux-phc? it seems it's not included in 2.6.25-zen1

ditto. otherwise the git of zen1 I pulled is the best yet. No hardlocks and my laptop sleeps correctly too. 2.6.24 was a little buggy with random hardlocks.

i was gonna merge PHC but I coudlnt really tell what was useful these days ...

I'm using midori too, and it is beautiful, however somewhat incomplete.

Both midori and epiphany have a lot of options "greyed out", such as Save As, is this the same for every one?

Anyway, both a live git ebuild of midori and frequently updated snapshot ebuilds of webkit-gtk are in sunrise, amd ...

I just wanted to keep this thread alive. I recently built a from git source webkit-gtk (with --enable-svg-animation) and midori (Today's source) and midori is working beautifully.

The fonts are a bit small on some webpages, but otherwise it works well, and is rediculously fast compared to firefox ...

I have this same problem, but for ipw2200. Is there a way to set the ethernet address to allow rtap0 to work?

Happens with vanilla driver too?

PD: I have pushed a "proper" fix for ipw3945 and ipwraw. Later I'll do the same with ipw2200.

I haven't tried vanilla in a long time... but if you want ...

I can offer bandwidth, I have 11TB per month of transfer with dreamhost. According to this article setting up a git repository should be possible on their servers:

When trying to bring up the rtap interface it does not work:

galadriel mithrandir # ifconfig rtap0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Das Argument ist ungültig

This occurs with ipwraw driver and also with ipw3945 driver, so it seems to be a more general issue.

It also worked with kamikaze-sources before.

Anyone ...

hmmm, does anyone else have any problems with the .24 release and uses a thinkpad t43? For some reason nothing since 2.6.23-kamikaze4 seems to work on my t43, everything boots up fine but hardlocks a few seconds to a minute after X and gdm load up. The worst bit is ive tried to find where the ...

I've been trying to get XFCE to work smoothly with compositing on a lenovo T60p. My T60p has the ati card in it so I'm using the fglrx drivers. Whenever I open firefox and go to a large web page the text seems to overlap on some lines and it looks very buggy. It looks fine whenever I turn the ...
